Without wishing to disrespect anyone on this forum, we wonder if some people really know football and learn from the past. Since I've been following this forum (it's been a few years now), I always read the same impatient people making the same mistakes and not understanding that it takes time to adapt when you play in a Pep team except when your name is Erling Haaland or Ruben Dias. All the players had difficulties in their early years and the best example is Rodri, whom some people here had the nerve to call Plodri. It's exactly the same people who still don't understand how soccer works who come every year to spew their gratuitous venom at our players because they don't express their full potential in their first season. Having said that, I have absolutely no doubts about Matheus Nunes, who has the potential to become a word class player, and I stress the word potential, because in football you can never be 100% sure of anything. For me, he has more potential than Gundogan for example (that doesn't mean he'll do better than him, I'm ONLY talking about his potential). He's quicker, a better dribbler, but he's still got a long way to go in terms of game intelligence (maybe that'll come in time). He's sorely lacking in self-confidence at the moment, but the potential is MONSTROUS.
What is funny is that if Paqueta had been signed(some blame Nunes for being signed instead), he would be facing the same blame that some people are making at Nunes.
Some will never learn from their mistakes
